 SAR Scenario Session Time Change 
For the SAR Peterborough Base Session v2.0

When in Driver mode, the session clock will be shown at the top right corner of the screen. The SAR Peterborough Base Session always starts with the clock showing 08:00. The time shown has no effect on the running of any of the scenarios in the SAR Peterborough Base Session as none of them have any rules or commands that refer to the clock. Clock 0800.png

However, you may prefer to have the session clock match the timetable for a selected run in one of the scenarios. For example, a timetabled train starting at a particular location at 12:30.

This page provides the instructions for changing the session clock time to display the time value you prefer.



You have two options for setting the Session Time:-

A Quick Driver Time Change

WindowsMenu Driver.png In Driver open the Windows Menu and select  Session Options .


Editing the Session with the UDS

Using the UDS (Universal Driver Surveyor) feature allows you to quickly switch between Driver and Surveyor modes and back again. This makes it very easy to change session parameters such as the clock time.

Step DotPoint1.JPG Switch from Driver to Surveyor

Driver Tools Menu In Driver open the Tools Menu and select  Edit in Surveyor .

NotePad.PNG Note:

If you have Trainz Plus or TRS22 Platinum then you will see two Edit in Surveyor options - one for Surveyor Classic (the original Surveyor) and the other for Surveyor 2.0 (the new Surveyor).

It does not matter which one you select.

Trainz will immediately switch from Driver to Surveyor.

Step DotPoint2.JPG Open the Session Editor

Surveyor Edit Menu In Surveyor open the Edit Menu and select Edit Session..

This will open the Session Editor


Session Editor The Session Editor contains all the Rules that control how a session operates.

There is only one rule that we will be editing, the Time and Rate rule.

Click on the Time and Rate rule and then click on the Edit button at the bottom left of the Session Editor window.

Editor Buttons


Step DotPoint3.JPG Edit the Session Start Time

Time Rate Rule The Time and Rate has just two simple controls - the session start time (in hours:minutes) and the speed at which time passes (the x value).

To Change the Hour

Click on the 8

This will open a dialogue window where you can enter the hour value, for example 12. Hours are in 24 hour format from 00 to 23.

12 Hours

Click the Tick Tick.PNG button on the Time Hour: dialogue window.


To Change the Minutes

Click on the 00

This will open a dialogue window where you can enter the minute value, for example 30. Minutes are from 00 to 59.

30 minutes

Click the Tick Tick.PNG button on the Time Minute: dialogue window.

The new session start time will now be displayed in the Time and Rate Rule.

Time 12:30

Click the Tick Tick.PNG button on the bottom right of the Time and Rate Rule window.

The change will be confirmed by showing the time 12:30 in the Time and Rate Rule object in the Session Editor.

Time 12:30

Step DotPoint4.JPG Commit the Time Change

At the bottom left of the Session Editor window are four buttons.

Editor Buttons Click the last button, Restart All Rules. This will restart any rules that have already started operating in the session.
Editor Buttons When the Restart task has been completed, the buttons will appear as shown on the left.
Tick Buttons Click the Tick Tick.PNG button at the bottom right of the Session Editor screen. This will return you to the main Surveyor screen.


Step DotPoint5.JPG (Optional) Save as a New Session

Save As an optional step, from Surveyor you can save your modified session like any other session. Press  Ctrl  +  S  or select  Save  from the Main Menu.

From the Save Session dialogue box, select the option Create a new session to avoid overwriting the original session.

Save Session 1230.png



Enter a meaningful name for the session, for example "Base Session 1230".



Step DotPoint6.JPG Switch Back To Driver

Back to Driver In Surveyor open the Edit Menu again and select Drive Session..

You will be switched back to Driver exactly where you were when you last left it to enter Surveyor.

However, there will be one difference. The clock at the top right corner of the screen will now show the updated session start time. Clock 1230.png
